Observations 20th to 27th July

I observe that the Bears should put some pants on

Not as warm in Sydney today, especially in comparison to yesterday. Mild and damp.

 

I believe last night was the warmest Canberra July night on record.

 

No heating for the last few nights.

 

A minimum of 17C in Sydney last night after 25C yesterday, wouldn't be out of place in November/December

 

Don't you just love it when there is another warming record broken.

 

this is going to be a looooooong 72 hours before the next front arrives.

*must...not...check....cams....*

 

or visit this thread....

see no evil
speak no evil
hear no evil

 

Warm at Perisher. Bit slushy and patchy but still plenty of fun to had.

 

Lock thread until sometime late Friday in the interests of the mental health of ski.,s

 

I observe much melt on northern slopes of kiewa valley mountains in the 4 days since i was here last

 

Harry Humidity is paying us a visit from Northern QLD and bringing Mild temps Mary for the ride.

Will play havoc with the Pre Frontal but should help at the back end

 

This....( bottom left looks noice tho')

 

Than read this article in ABC

It sort of does not add up to me, when you can visible see the SST assessment above.

 

First day at hotham this season. Observe it looks like a desert. Very late spring conditions

 

You're 1 letter off being PG.

 

Lol. Feel free to put up some recent cooling records that have been broken to balance things out if you like. Claude C may issue a SOT though.

 

Want me to say it?

 

Yep I already got deleted. But it was the wrong post IMO. That progression in Global SST was really something to look at.

i observe that Thredbo AWS has not been negative for days.

Incoming at 7 O'clock

Not deleted, just moved

 

Unlucky hey hongo.
I have had 2 long weekends at hotham and both have been after fresh dry snow dumps.
I observe i will be up again this weekend so expect same.
I also observe its very mild in Melbourne's north and jonquil flowers are in full bloom at home.

 

Upper Blue Mtns totaling over 60mm rain since midnight.

Paddocks in Hartley NSW are running rivers of whitewater this afternoon on the drive home.

 

I observe it was 9c in PV carpark at noon , snow condition super slush. Not quite as bad as yesterday though , wet glue and 8c at BlueCow at 11.30am. Unenjoyable to be honest.

 

The moon over Melbourne is awesome right now (low on horizon, big and yellow)

 

Same in Canberra. An amazing view of the clouds being lit up.

 

Went for a run along the beach before.
Was absolutely stunning with the light of the sunsetting and the bright moon behind

 

Just glad my name isn't Harry.

 

The movement on the sat elite in the last 2 hrs is a phenomena.

This post inspired me to go outside and have a crack at photographing it. I'm pretty pleased with the result.

 

Yup, v wet and the warmest July minimum on record last night

 

Great photo and detail. what equipment did you use

 

61ml for Umina Beach NSW over the last 24 hours. Still 99% humidity at 16c.

BoM was calling half that at best so a big upgrade

Lets hope that the cold air gets here, and gets here fast

 

In another life I spent a couple of years living at Marg River, full moon almost always meant good swell. Seems a full moon often brings good snow as well, fingers crossed

 

Margaret River, what a place!

And I def hope you're right with the full moon = good snow prediction!

 

I used a Nikon p600, just an advanced point and shoot with a really good zoom. And a tripod.

 

Looked like most of the wet stuff was tracking acros further North up your way. Radar looked like it.
Only had 3mm, from WZ , here Sth Coast tho it rained all day ish.

 

Would it also coincide with Rossby waves....?

 

Moderate flooding forecast for Macquarie River in Dubbo tonight. Pretty amazing considering the major dams are capturing the runoff from the upper catchment. Will close the Newell Highway bridge tonight so traffic chaos expected in town.

 

heavy rain at albury - looking like it might miss Hotham, Falls looks vulnerable. NSW resorts in line according to Yarrawonga radar

 

Definitely not warm in Geelong.
Forecast temp today is for 18 deg.

Overnight low 3.9 deg.
Currently stalled at 9.6 deg @11am and raining??

 

Wasnt too bad...day number 14 this oz season! The snow was fun.

Been raining on and off in kiewa valley all night. Nothing heavy though.

 

r@!n started about 20 mins ago at blue cow

 

More like wet clear snow

 

Mt P has been great this morning - snow holding up on Sun Valley & Towers. Front & Centre Valleys also great early. First very light drops of rain at 11.20. The wet begins. Bring on the cold & await Saturday.

 

Atmosphere pretty wet at falls. Also looks like a desert here. Do i ski or keep cruising...

 

Theres that band of rain @gaz35 was talking about

 

Not trying to be negative...but observing heavy rain at windy corner. Not sure how the "base" will hold up especially if we get predicted 75mm tomorrow

 

I observe I am holed up in blue cow terminal. Very Light rain from late morning. Heavy misty rain since midday. very low vis. It seems this moisture has not stuck as far north as we'd hoped. Bring on the cold air.
